Lent: When You Have More Questions than Answers (John 14:27)

John 14:27 speaks directly into anxious hearts. As Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure, He didn’t promise easy circumstances—He promised peace. Not temporary relief. Not distraction. His peace.

The world offers comfort that fades when pressure rises. Christ offers a steady, internal peace that holds even when circumstances don’t change. This verse invites us to receive peace as a gift, not something we strive to manufacture. When fear competes for space in our hearts, Jesus calls us to trust His presence instead.
